1 Tesalonikafoɔ 1

1 Nwoma yi firi Paulo, Silas ne Timoteo nkyɛn, Yɛde kɔma Tesalonika asafo a wɔyɛ Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo mma no: Adom ne asomdwoeɛ nka mo.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

2 Daa yɛda Onyankopɔn ase ma mo, na yɛkae mo wɔ yɛn mpaeɛbɔ mu nso.

We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

3 Ɛfiri sɛ, yɛkae mo gyidie a mode di dwuma, mo dɔ a ɛma motumi de nsi yɛ adwuma ne mo anidasoɔ denden a mowɔ wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo mu no wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn ne Agya no anim.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

4 Anuanom, yɛnim sɛ Onyankopɔn dɔ mo enti na wayi mo sɛ ɔno ankasa ne deɛ no.

We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

5 Sɛ yɛbɛkaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo a, ɛnyɛ nsɛm bi kwa, na mmom, yɛgyina tumi ne Honhom Kronkron ne mu nokorɛ mu gyidie so. Monim nnipa ko a na yɛyɛ ɛne sɛdeɛ yɛboaa mo.

and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of persons we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

6 Mosuasuaa yɛn ne Awurade; na ɛwom sɛ mohunuu amane deɛ, nanso mode anigyeɛ a ɛfiri Honhom Kronkron no mu gyee asɛm no.

You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

7 Ɛnam so maa mobɛyɛɛ nhwɛsoɔ maa agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ Makedonia ne Hela no nyinaa.

so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

8 Nsɛm a moka faa Awurade ho no ankɔ Makedonia ne Hela nko, na mmom, gyidie a mowɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn mu no ho asɛm aduru baabiara. Asɛm biara nni hɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka bio.

For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out; so that we do not need to say anything.

9 Obiara kamfo sɛdeɛ mogyee yɛn ne sɛdeɛ motwee mo ho firii abosom ho kɔsom nokorɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase daa no,

For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

10 na motwɛn ne Ba a ɔfiri ɔsoro no; Yesu a ɔnyanee no firii awufoɔ mu a ɔgye yɛn firi Onyankopɔn abufuo a ɛreba no mu no.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
